The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) has re-hired Rober Rudnai as a captive insurance specialist. He will be responsible for licensing and monitoring Texas-based captives and alerting businesses in the state to the potential of starting a captive. In 2013, the Legislature passed a measure allowing pure captives and requiring TDI to license them. Back then, Rudnai served at the TDI. He began his tenure there as a financial analyst before being promoted to director. He joins TDI from Realign Insurance Holdings where he was most recently director of compliance and licensing. The department says: “State lawmakers this year directed TDI to employ a specialist to support captive insurance oversight and related activities in Texas, which has 76 state-domiciled captives and ranks high in total premium volume from captives.”
